Let’s talk about something most people don’t bring up at brunch: bloating that makes you look six months pregnant, constant gut discomfort, and feeling like your digestion has totally turned against you.
If this sounds familiar, you may be dealing with SIBO, short for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth.
And trust us, it’s more common than you think.
What Is SIBO, Anyway?
Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria, most of which should hang out in your large intestine. But sometimes, due to various factors, these bacteria migrate north into the small intestine, where they don’t belong.
The result? Fermentation of your food in the wrong place, leading to gas, bloating, and a host of digestive chaos.
What Causes SIBO?
SIBO doesn’t show up randomly. It’s usually triggered by something that slows down the movement of your digestive system (called motility) or alters your gut environment.
Common triggers include:
- Antibiotic use
- Food poisoning
- Chronic stress
- Low stomach acid
- Gut surgery or scar tissue
- Long-term use of antacids or PPIs
- Hormonal imbalances (hello, menopause!)
How Do You Know If It’s SIBO?
Here are the top signs that SIBO might be the culprit behind your symptoms:
- Bloating shortly after meals (not hours later)
- Gas or belching that’s hard to control
- Abdominal pain or discomfort
- Diarrhea, constipation—or both (classic IBS confusion!)
- Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Nutrient deficiencies, especially B12, iron, or fat-soluble vitamins
If you’ve been labelled with “IBS” but nothing seems to help, it’s worth investigating SIBO as the root cause.
How Is SIBO Diagnosed?
There are breath tests that can help confirm SIBO, measuring hydrogen and methane gases produced by the bacteria. Some people also respond to a therapeutic herbal protocol, which itself can be a clue.
